is that 60 mA?

Is it a "solid state" NST? (which won't work)  or a conventional transformer 
style (which will)



.will this be suitable to build a simple Tesla coil?

Yes


Also im working

Transformer, capacitor, sparkgap, primary winding, secondary, topload..

Use a beer bottle/bucket capacitor (cheap, but heavy)
Use bare AWG12 or AWG14 wire as your primary, at least the first time.
Metal dryer vent hose and a metal pie plate make a fine topload.
